Hello,
I'm having a small problem with my LG L9 II - Stock Kit Kat Rom V20D, rooted.
I keep all my contacts on the google server, not on my phone, for better backup.
Recently, I realised that I had multiple contacts, same name, different number. So I decided to join the contacts under a single one. For example, I had John Home number with his home number on one contact, and John Work with his work number on another. I joined the two under John, so that one contact has two telephone numbers (and maybe a facebook account) linked.
And I did this for all my phonebook.
The problem is that after resetting the phone and syncing the contacts from the google server, it didn't remember my joined contacts. I again have two phonebook entries for John, instead of one John with multiple numbers.
Oddly, deleted contacts and new entries were synced. So the problem is somewhere in the joined contacts area.
Is there a fix for this? I hate having to manually join the contacts again and again after every reset/phone switch/etc.
Thanks!

I just logged into my MSN with my tytn.
Now it automatically imported all my email contacts into my phones contact list.
The problem is I have 2 identical names of everyone I know that have a
phone number and email address. I sync'ed my phone and then the email
addresses disappeared until I log into MSN again and then I get duplicate names again. Is there a way to combine the two seperate identical names into one contact name folder? I cannot be the only one with this problem.
Thanks anyone for some help.

Hello People,
I use an unrooted SGS2 with offcourse the gingerbread firmware 2.3.3.
I have exported my girlfriends contacts (she has 1500 due to a stupid
actio of hers to sync her facebook friends) and send that file to my phone
for savekeeps.
I accidentally double clicked the file and I ended up with all her contacts.
Ok, so far, so not good.
I have managed to delete all the contacts I didnt want in my phone. Took
some time but ok. Now is where the problem kicks in.
When I want to choose a recipient for a sms I find the complete list of 1500
contacts. the ones I have deleted. I cannot delete the recipients and cannot
where they are hidden. I did delete them and they dont show in my contact
list.
Can anyone help???
While in "Contacts" it shows contacts only from selected accounts (Contacts->Menu->More->Display options-> select accounts that you want to display). But in SMS or email it still shows contacts from all accounts that are registered on the phone.
Your FB contacts probably got imported into some google account or something (try enabling accounts in Contacts->Menu->More->Display options, one by one and when you select the right one, contacts will appear in "Contacts").
You will have to remove contacts from the corresponding account and then go to
Menu->Settings->Accounts and sync->click that account->Sync Contacts.
I does look like a bug to me, but that is how it works now.
Frustration is growing by a second as I researched my issue only finding similar questions raised without much answers...
I'm hoping someone here would be able to help me out on this.
I'm upgrading from a HTC Hero to a Galaxy Nexus. I want to transfer all my contacts from my old HTC to the new phone. I used Google Sync.
I never had the habit of syncing contacts to the PC; hence my GMail contact list was pretty much empty to begin with.
On the HTC, i exported all the contacts into the SD card as VCF file and went to GMail and imported that file into my GMail.
Then, it seems like it only grabbed a portion of the contacts into Gmail but at the same time, deleting most of my phone contacts in my HTC! The contact list on the phone only has facebook contacts and their emails, the phone numbers (not all of them for some very odd reasons) are gone.
In the call history, the caller of past calls had became "Unknown caller" rather than their names.
In the SMS history, the author of the messages had became the phone numbers rather than their names.
I guess I could get some of the phones back by manually figuring out which number belongs to who depending on the content of the texts but it does seem like the numbers lost the linkages to the names after syncing.
Is it possible at all to get my contact list back?
Another thing I tried doing was to use the original HTC Sync. It seems like it did its syncing but where do these contacts go on the PC? I checked Outlook and clicked contacts only to find about 20 contacts in there; my phone list definitely had way more than that.
What is going on...someone please spark me some new years hope...
My phone is running on android jellybean 4.2.1 version.
I recently synced my outlook, facebook and gmail contacts to my phone book using the sync facility. This made lot of duplicate entries with the same name. for example a guy named Dave Williams has 3 entries
2 for 2 email addresses
1 for phone number.
This has happned for lot of persons in my phone book. I have tried apps like Contacts+ and go contacts ex. But these apps allow me to merge contacts one by one. i.e. tickmarking contacts one by one and then merge. Is there a one click way to do this? i.e. selecting all duplicate contacts in one go and saving time?
I'm having two weird issues with my contacts.
First the pictures for my contacts sometimes disappear and reappear when I open my SMS
Second issue is when I open a new SMS and I type the persons name and the numbers for that person show up , I have the number in my contacts coming up for that person but I'm also getting old numbers that are out of service for that person. I tried deleting all contacts and re-importing them and still the same issue
I'm using Wondershare MobileGo to sync my Outlook 2010 with my phone. When I go into outlook there is only 1 number for a lot of my contacts and when I pull them up on the phone through the contacts only 1 number shows up, but again when I open a new SMS I get several numbers coming up for a person that I only saved 1 number for.
Where are the numbers coming from ? I did not set up the AT&T phonebook. and I have everything in my contacts unckecked ( ex: facebook, gmail, tango )
Any info would be greatly appreciated
